Lyrics/
When I wake up in the morning
Sunshine through the window from the sky
And I make up my mind
What I've got to do for you in this life
In my life
I need you all the time
I've gotta love, I've gotta love shinin' you
I found your heart in the bright
We must be your children
What do you think about it
I want your power, now I've got it
Shinin' you, Shinin' day
Shinin' you, Shinin' day
When you're crying, it's a rainy day
But, you try to make me have such a happy time
Love somebody
Sing a song with a smiling face, Feeling good
Feeling good
Nothing wrong with a shiny day
Shinin' day
I need you all the time
I know you make me smile
I found your heart in the bright
We must be your children
What do you think about it
I want your power, now I've got it
Shinin' you, Shinin' day
Shinin' you, Shinin' day

Born in 1955, he started playing piano at the age of 7 and guitar at 8, and emerged from the age of 12-13, already doing things like a studio musician.
In 1973, while still in high school, he formed the legendary amateur band "Smokey Medicine" and was selected as an amateur band to perform on stage with a professional band produced by Yuya Uchida.
The band broke up without making their album debut.
(The band also included Yoshihiro Naruse (B), now in CASIOPEA III,and Jun Sato (Key), Mari Kaneko (Vo), and Shoji Fujii (Ds), later of "Ippudo", all of whom were members of the band during their high school years. (except for Naruse, the other four))
Char then made his professional solo debut in Japan in 1976 with this solo album.
